So I finally did something. I had my wedding rings resized. Upsized. And I accepted that my fingers weren’t going to get smaller again. But really, I weighed about 100 pounds when I got married almost 27 years ago. People gain weight. It happens. I can accept that I’m never going to be that weight again, nor would I want to be.

Granted, I’m not thrilled about my current weight. Like a good portion of the world, I gained some weight over the pandemic months/years. I actually didn’t gain *that much, but it was enough to tip me into not being happy with my body. I got tired of it recently, and I’m now down about 10 pounds. Making some different food and drink choices and getting some exercise. I actually hate exercise. But I hate feeling overweight more.

I don’t have a set goal in mind. I want to feel good about my body again. And be healthy. Well, as healthy as you can be with a few chronic health conditions. So why did I have the rings upsized if I’m losing weight? That’s the acceptance part. You can want to change something while still accepting the rest. Those rings were originally a size 4.5. They’re now a 7. I’m not sure how they fit on my finger all these years, lol.
